CONSERVE CEDAR, HOLLY AND MISTLETOE The State Federation of Women’s Clubs of North ' Caiylina, have commenced a campaign for the con servation of cedar, holly and mistletoe in that state. Commencing the Yuletide season, the forest is de vastated by hunters for evergreens to be used for decoration purposes. The custom has been in vogue since time immemorable. Christmas without the cedar, holly and mistletoe decorations would be as much a failure as Hamlet would be without a ghost. However, the seriousness of destroying and despoil ing this much desired decoration material has grown to be alarming and unless there is some check placed on the ravages of the forest, this state will ex-\^ perience a devastation the equal'of that of our sister state, North Carolina. There has Men quite a noticeable shortage during the past few years of cedar, holly and mistletoe in this section and it may be expected that the price of such decorations will be advanced and the supply greatly reduced. At this season of the year hun dreds of people make it a business of robbing the forests of every spriaavailable and in many instances the forest is left with absolutely no roots to com mence another growth. If this raid on the cedar, holly and mistletoe is kept up indiscriminately, it will not be but a few years until the time honored holly and cedar will pass away along with other tra ditions of the old south. Let us use in moderation for our Christmas deco rations holly, cedar and mistletoe and remember that it is our duty to aid in conserving the growth and preservation of this long time admired adornment of the Yuletide season and greeting of good cheer and happy spirit. IS FRANCE KEEPING FAITH? Notwithstanding the claim of France that she is practically bankrupt and unable to meet her obliga- . lions for money loaned to her by America during the world war, it is reported that a loan of ?}00,000,000 will be made to Poland, Roumania and Jugo-Slavia for the purpose of enabling those esuntriw to strengthen their military defense. While America Is able to extend this loan, the people of this nation ex pect France to keep faith with our government by psyir.g the ’obligation without bickering cr. their pert. Franco explains her position on the grounds that this country did not enter into the League of Nations and that these smaller countries are left without protection from the larger nations. There is some thing in their claims—this nation should have fol lowed the lead of President Wilson and accepted the instrument as prepared by him and agreed upon by the representatives of other nations, but since the re publican party failed to accept or to enter into any agreement whatever for the protection of our country from future ware, it is a matter for this country to bo concerned and not France. We believe that a great mistake was made when America failed to enter into ^ the League of Nations, but since it has refused to become a party to the league, France nor any other country has a moral or legal right to refuse to pay their just debts, contracted in good faith, on any such grounds os put forward by that nation. Congress should take some action and require France and other nations indebted to this country to make provision for an esrly and satisfactory settle ment of these claims. There is Russia .owing this country millions of dollars which is practically lost ! ; unless something of a positive character is done in an official manner. While this nation threw itself into ; the thickest of the battle and assumed the responsi- l bility of financing the gre at war, it was done for the P reason that all other countries allied against Ger- many were unable to finatice the expenses which had grown to be enormous. America’s entrance into the — war saved the world for Democracy and from the rule of the Kaiser. That France and all pther coun- . tries indebted to this country should meet their ob ligations promptly is no more than their moral and legal duty and as such, these countries should show to America their appreciation of what has been done for them at a time when it meant life and all to them.. The bond election for the widening and paving Broad street from Lumpkin street to Miltedge ave- ; nuo will be held Wednesday. The proposed bond i«ue is for fifty thousand dollars. The purpose is for one of the most needed improvements in the city. It will open a street which will relieve traffic congestion on Hill street and Prince avenue which has grown to be dangerous to the public. The im provement will develop property which will be en hanced in value and the increase in taxable values will more than offset the interest on the bonds and aid in providing a sinking fund for the retirement of the bonds at maturity. DID IT EVER OCCUR TO YOU? A Llttla of Everything And Not Much at Anything* ■y HUGH ROWS. WILD LONGINGS By Barton Braley Though my conduct's pretty gener ally flawless, With some minor aberrations now and then, There are times -when I'm just aching to be lawless, When I’d like to shock and daze my fellow men. There are tendencies suffusing all my system Which would put me very swiftly in a cell, So if you will only listen I will list ’em * For they may perhaps have troubled you as well. I would like to taka a pie that's made of custard And heave it at a waiter- watch it squirt; I would like to mix some grape juice and some mustard And pour it down some pompous johnny's shirt; I would like to ttim the fire-hose on a “copper" And heat his curses rising, loud and thick, And I'd find a thrill delightfully , improper Irt smashing plate glass windows with a brick! These are hut a few of fancies that obsess me, Of the longings that I'm yearn ing to obey, And. my conscience wouldn't worry or distress me Were I to do these'lawle^ deeds today; ' But tie courts ?- 4 !!* 1 *, net. he wen-i erounly lenient’ '■ With this tendency to violence ond crime, ■ .

While the record* show the game to be a tie yet I consider It a wonderful vic tory for Georgia, For the strong est team in the south outside or in side of the conference teams to bt • held for a tie score and that bn field goals proved absolutely, to my mind, that Georgia deserves t classification of victory. The destruction of old Otu* pres hall rsmpvss from ths community on# of its old land marks. In days gone by this building was used, aa a theatre—in those day known as DuPree’s op era house. Many of the bid time stars appeared at this place. C. B. Bishop, presenting tho “Widow nedott”: Kittle Cheatham: Robert Downing, the tragedian: Milt Bar- low. of "Old Black Joe” fame;' George Wilson, Primrose and West So! Smith Russell: Roland Reade- William H. Crane and many other celebrities, most of whom have passed into another world where the stage Is unknown. There arc some marks left on the walls which reminds the "old timers** of thr days gone by nnd of the splendid performances which were produced in fhl* old building. We did not have musical comedies In those days. Farce -comedies with edlan and a soubrette. doing songs nnd dances pleased tho - average theatre-goer then as much does the biggest musical comedies of today. Shakespearian plays nnd heavy dramas drew the largest at tendance. Tastes of the amuse meat loving public have changed If Booth nnd Barrett could be urrected and brought to Athens, we do not believe that they would draw a crowd large enough to pay the bill-posting bill. In this day nnd time our people care little foi any kind of a performance other than n minstrel show or musical comedy. "The Monster." ‘The "The Cat nnd the Canary' nnd such like attractions do not appeal to our theatre goers. They prefer something light and enter talning add I do not know bu that T agree with them. There If enough tragedy In every day llfi without paying to see the make believe on the stage. Cliff Turnsr, and old Athens boy, but now of Cleveland, Ohio, head of tho largo 'con cern of The B. C.

Thla anecdote Is taken from the American glonajre: "Gentlemen," said the burgeon as he entered the lobby of the Good Eggs Club, “In a room next door Ilea a man hovering between Hfr and death. One thing will save him. In there a gentleman her* who will volunteer to give me a quart; just one quart—" 'That’s enough, doc. 111 do ft!' cried out an athletic youth.
